CCISD staff outline Title II, Part A funding flow and the 'supplement, not supplant' rule
Summary
CLEAR CREEK ISD staff explained that Title II, Part A funds come from the U.S. Department of Education via the state, must follow TEA rules, prioritize high‑needs schools, and are governed by the legal requirement to 'supplement, not supplant' local spending.
The presenter said the money for Title II, Part A "originate[s] from the US Department of Education, and then they flow through the state directly to our school district," and emphasized that district decisions must follow rules from the U.S. Department of Education and the Texas Education Agency. The presenter noted that although law requires prioritizing high‑needs schools, Title II supports teachers across the whole district.
On how the funds may be used, the presenter explained the supplement requirement: "There's a very specific rule guiding how this money is spent, and it's called supplement, not supplant. In plain English, title 2 money must add to what the district already provides. It cannot replace it." The presenter framed the rule as a protection for student resources.
